The House had right to apply the Clergy Reserves lo any purpose other than religious ins'ruc ion.At fir»t there was some dispute cn these subjects; but at length following the opinion of the officers ofthe crown that the lands belonged alike lo all Pro'et:aiita they were divided among all the seen ; but now the pie-tensions of the agitators on this tubj.ct were pushed much further 'han before ; and it wat pretended, because the Several tecta were constantly multiplying tb.it it would be better to take the whole pro' petty ard apply it to the general purposes of the government.That tvs* a proposition lo which he would never consent ; and beliesing the actual settlement of the Reserves ought nor to be interfered with, be would not vote fur that clause in the ad-dresa which expressed regret at the fact that the British Govrmmrnt was determined to adhere to it.Mr.Rjdout, must also tell the Home that there was much discontent at the fact that wheat wat in Camda 20 per cent, luwer than in the States.He hoped government would remedy this evil.A partial remedy was expee'ed from the subject refrnrd to in the next paragraph ofthe speech\u2014the establishment of a line of steamers to Quebec.This proposition ha looked on as calculated to lower freights, and he should support it at far at he could, giving Ihe credit of the scheme to Mr.Merrit, rether than lo the present government.Referring to the increase in duties and the prospeiity of the consuming classes, inferred front that fact, he thought instead of \u201c great prosperity,\u201d the proper words would have been \u201c great fotbearance.\u201d He thought the people of the country, at any rate the mercantile classes, were not aalisfied with the tariff; and desired to have it lowered.He remembered the time when tha duty on British goods was only 2£ per cent.Since then the differ-ei.tial duties had been resumed, and duties on tea and sugar, reduced: this reduction ought to be tarried still farther, and joined to a reduction of freights, would do the agriculturist much good.He sh >uld vote for all the resolutions except (hit relating to th* Clergy Reserves.He concurred in the state meut that our imports and exports were increasing ; Imports and exports wer* increasing by way of the U.S.and decreasing via the Si.Lawrence, this ought to be remrdied.One million had been spent on St.Lawrence Canals, ai (1 the fulls only mounted ro £25,000.\u2014He could not bdiete it was impossible to make these canals the channels for our carrying trade.He should rise Ins but efforts to do ao ; believing that this would increase Ihe revenu\", at lass eipeme to the community than by cus'oms duties.He agreed with the hun.member fur Mezantic, a duty in fivour of our wheat in England would be the best thing for this country ; but despaired of ever getting that advantige icitoied.In tha absence of protection in Great Britain and reciprocity in the United States, some new pulicy ihould be adnp'ed, in order lo enhance the price of our product*.Though the policy of the present government was said to be a free trade one, Canada could not cany out ihat policy, at.d the country must become a protective one.Ho did no' wish nigh duties to build up manufactures ; but a di-crimineting system.Low duties un neceesarira of l:fe end raw material*\u2014 du\u2019tes lur revenue* on Bri'.tsh go dt\u2014higher duties on Amerkau goods till reciprocity were granted.Then an asaimilitiou of dut'ea between the North American and West Indian Colonies, and a sinking fund ; The hon.member for Kent, accused Ihe Contcrvalivea of being opposed to Retpontible Gove nment.Now, however much some member* might have been opposed to responsible governmrnt, all were prepared to carry it out, and he had been in it* favour when his own pt'ly had been opposed to it.lie thought it the best way to p'tserve Our con-nrction wi h Great Britain.Mr.Cartier said the clause which had eauted tha most discussion In the House wat that relating to the prosperity ?f the I'rovince.He disapproved of Hie observation* of the senior member for Toronto and wm greatly interested in those of the hon.(entlemiti's colii-azues.The former hon.member singled out Messachu-etti for his comparison, which stood in a remarkable position aa the head of (ho rommerce of the Union.Canada had not »o much banking capi'sl ns Masiaehutdts, nor did the same ctpital do *o large an amount of business.But Mistachus'lli contaimd the city of Button which Banked not merely for Maatschmetls but far many ottier »\u2022*¦»*.If this were a fair criterion other a'atei rnuit he very poor if Msssaehuieti* were rich.Provincial Secretary had moved in the !.C.Farlis niriil to repeal nn imperial ala ute, he anil! he did not think such a course legal.Whatever was now dune he hoped would be dune in a legal manner, He regretted that by a misunderstanding the municipal 'Cuuncil uf Montreal bad rejected the Government aid lo the auflVrers by the lire, wished ( Itey would review the old ordinance ofthe French Government against wooden huildinge towns, àl least fur L.C.He advised Mr.Boulton not to mebe hia annexation views to prominent.Mr.Boulton denitd 'hat he had said a word favour of annexation.All that he had said wa* (list without a change lo avoid it, annexation was evitable.Mr.llARTMANspokesome time [in a low tone voice, inaudible in the gallery] in aitppotl of the min istry, and then warned Mr.Brown that tire conduct lie was pursuing wat calculated only to inspire dis Iriict in those who had tent the ministry to Parliament with an overwhelming majority.That goverment pro fessid lo carry out the principlci of the parly which the yhad always professti).lie had a wurd lo say lo the hon.member for Monlmorenci.He was not unprepared for lhal hon.gentleman's observations about tociali»m 2 but fur his own part, hs thought that hon.member more a socialist Ilian the parly lie (Mr.Hartman, belonged to.All they asked was dial the government should be carried on for the eoodof evciy individual in Hie country.Of the Reserves question, he could not recognize the right of the government to give the properly of the pro vince to any sol of people whatever.Whatever good was intended at the time they were given, it wat clear that this must be otherwise settled now.Mr.Street knew not by what standard the prosperity of the country wat lo be judged; but he knew that our provincial securities had risen in price, and lauded estate, bank stock and all other property had also rapidly advanced ; and these he look to be great tokens of prospeiity.The construction of railways was another indication of the tome kind for if there was no bmincssto do why did gentlemen on all side* of the house desire to make lltese great works ?He did nut, however, say lhal wo might not arrive at a higher pitch of prosperity.Since protection had been wiihdiawn by England, he be licvcd Ih tit waa the true policy of this country to protect its own manufactures to as to create a mar ket for our farmers, as in Ihe United States.He was nut aalisfied with the explanation given by the In spector General, of the difference between the speech from the throne and the resolutions in reply.He read from another paragraph from Ihe speech refer ring lo the seigniorial tenure, recommending the greatest care in dealing with lhal question as it affected the rights of individuals.He asked why equal care wat not rtcommended in dealing with Hie Clergy Reserves.[to be continued.] \u20ac\\)t (Dtielipr fttonj.TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1852.non.member for Fion'enae had spoken at if the hon.Inspector General had failed to cm sul' hit views in conttruclii g tire ministry, and he had no doubt ihat in fact tire hon.gent'enMn did nut Consult the views of the hon.member for Frorrense at all, but had rather contul'ed rho>e of hie par'j end the cuuntry in gtnertl.Mr.MabchiLDON having risen to address the bouse, Mr- tiinck* rote and omplvned of the length if the debate, ibere being no levs than t«v*nbrre wire ao many mure members of the boeve.7 ut noeae itren adj .lin ed.*» ¦ MoKdat, J .1) 30.-Vef if p*'iron* were broutht up in favour .( >he C ergy Ketenei ;

thus that prison is the real house of correction for the whole province.Tito discipline of this establishment lias proved totally unfit for Iroys\u2014a discipline which is very pro|ter for tt full grown man and a haideued offender, is nothing less tiuiu useless cruelty and oppression when enforced against n child, while the object of reformation, the main stay of which is that the convict is compelled to learn a ?.rnde, is not accomplished, ns intended by the legislature, for wo htc assured that thii rllècl of the sentence is rarely nttnmed by the means adopted.Combining punishment and instruction is one of the ideas which humanity has suggested for the improvement of the guilty and the amelioration of social evils, lint we think, practically, ' should th \u201cyou have sinned through ignorance the corollary iollows, \u201c we will endeavor to cure your ignorance and teach you better, and then perhaps you will sin no more,\u201d\u2014butsuy \u201cyou have sinned with knowledge,\u201d it follows that society must add \u201c we will punish your sin, and knowledge does not hinder you from crime, it may he that fear will.\u201d W think the former proposition applicable to boys, the hitler we fear is the only one of general application to men.We would thus divide the classes of convicted offenders into two : those who might be generally presumed to have proved the need of instruction by offences showing an ignorance dangerous to society, anti whom society may, therefore, in the inte rests of humanity, undertake to amend by instruction, in which case reformation and education must be the entire object of their confinement, and the discipline applied to them be suitable to that object \u2014which principle we would apply to all youths below eighteen years of age the other class we would restrain simply to suitable punishment, which we would render as little a burden and ns much a benefit to society as possible: thus we would make their labour of direct public advantage.Pursuant to these conceptions, we would suggest that the prison at Kingston he turned into a \u201c house of reformation\u201d for juvenile offenders, under eighteen years old, and send convicts exceeding that age, to clear and level roadways in the wilderness, on the principle used by the British government towards convicts in Van Dieman\u2019s Land.Thus, their labor will be made immediately beneficial to society, and a house be prepared for the improvement of boys ; it being further enacted that the period of confinement therein should not be limited by any minimum of time, ns at present to two years.To make this plan efficient, the co-operation of the magistracy would be requisite.It is perfectly obvious that while no effort is made to bail young boys to the sessions, rather than to bundle them oft\u2019 at once to jail, while the offence charged is bailable, and while amateur justices appear to consider themselves sworn to give the maximum of the Police ordinance on all occasions\u2014 every prison of detention will become school for thieves.Foremost among the recently finished public buildings which ornament the City, are those in which the Legislature of the Province is now met.As they have been visited within the last ten days by hundreds of persons and already described by some of our contemporaries, we should not attempt a further description of them, were it not for the information of our readers at a distance, as well ns correcting some discrepancies in the accounts previously published.The astonishment manifested at the magnificence of their interior fittings and decoration ns well as the credit which is due lo the different artizaus engaged thereupon, warrant our entering into greater detail than we should otherwise have deemed necessary.The buildings themselves are not entirely new, the centre Itortion and north being remnants of tho old Lower Canadian House.When it was determined thnt this should once more be tho capital ofthe united Canadas, the old wing, formerly part ofthe R.C.Bishop\u2019s Palace, wns demolished, and on its site, a new one has been erected of cut stone in uniformity with the rest of the edifice.The chief point of attraction is of course the Hall or Assembly, a lofty, well lighted, and spacious chamber, situate in the main building, and similar in size to that of the British House ef Commons.This room has undergone a great change from what it waa in former days ; by the remova; of the partitions in the front part next the lobby, and adapting to the uie of the members that part of the ground floor formerly occupied by spectators, the accommodation of the representatives has been almoet doubled.Then the extension of the gallery back to the main front wall, gives the interior the additional light of the large front windows, while at the same time the alteration in *ha|>e of thoae five small windows in rear to wide semicircular giving, the appearance of indented fresco punelt, has permitted the extension of the gallery on each side to the Speaker\u2019s throne, with also an increased allowance of light, w hich is softened hy beautiful transparencies of Quebec, Montreal, Kingston and Toronto, executed by Messrs.Todd nd Murray, of this city.The eighty-four seats t ith desks in fiont of them, are arranged in a triple row on each side of the House;\u2014the desks are of black walnut with panels of scarlet cloth, and the arm chairs, two to each desk, aro coveted with crimson morocco and very comfortably made, he Speaker's throne w hich i* constructed of solid ack walnut, and stand* 22 feet high, is surmounted with the royal amis, and forms the prominent object on entering.Its occupant it placed at a alight elevation above the rest of the members, so ns at all times to command a view of the entire house.His chair is finely carved, and Ihe back of th* throne beats the provincial arm*.The steps, live in number, leading to the Speaker's throne, ate covered with scarlet cloth and padded, and the whole door of the room it well car|>ettd.The visitors' gallery, part of which it allotted to lathee and legislative councillors, is supported upon eighteen tinted bronze pillars, and in front of the gallery it an open iron ratling of handsome design, lined with ererlet.The seat* here placed for the public will accommodate atiove six hundred.From the vaulted celling are suspended two handsome massive gat lustres, with IS*) burners on eneh, surrounded by rows of innumeiable prisms, producing a most brilliant effect when lighted.On the left side of the S|>eaker u placed the large and venerable portrait of her late Majesty Queen Char* loolte, and on his right th* hfe-sixed picture of George III, under who** reign the constitution of this Finvmre wit granted.These paintings aie both originals and valued at £7iK) each.They were |i«intrd by Sir Joshua Reynolds.At the np|H>tHe extiemity of the loom are raned scat* for rx*memb*rs.On the tight and left of thia end of the building, and on a level with Ihe mrmlrera, are the reporleta' galleries, attach)>1 to which are private lobbies and a large chain tier for the e*|recial ute of the 14 gentlemen of Ihe pres*.\u201d Bcsideithe main entrance to the room there are four others, below stair*, one on each side Ihe *|reakrr'a chair, end one on each side of the centie of the House.nutnher uf member* be increesed r» tlml litis idea is a|>|ilicali!c only to ^rown mon.It is in liunmit nature to sec a tyrant in Hia inflictor of punishment, in Iho instructor it friAittl.This rrinnrk tip-phos to a grown up man ;

it is used as a Refreshment Room for the members.The extensive room adjoining, over the assembly hall, which is much enlarged, is given up entirely to the Historical Society, Museum and Library, thu entrance to which is by the centre door belaw, and ascending the stairs on the right.For a time this institution is closed to the public, while the room is being put in order.From the Assembly Room the visitor, going into the south-east win£, nasses first through the Library, which is 92 feet in length by 38 in width, commodiously arranged and divided by Corinthian pillars into eleven compartments.The shelves, though not quite filled, are vvell supplied with thn choicest literature, both ancient and modern, and can store not less than forty thousand volumes : they now hold but 17,000.The carpet in this room is of the finest description, and cost, we are informed, nearly a thousand dollars.The library is painted white throughout, with crimson cloth hangings along the shelves,\u2014the tables are also covered with crimson.A Leautilul and costly Italian marble chimney-piece is to be seen at one end of the room.From the library we next reach the wide passage of the new wing, and, near the entrance, observe the Wardrobe of the Legislative Council, adjoining which are the Reading Room and rooms of tbe chief and other messengers.Ascending the wide staircase to the second story, we strive at the upper house or the Council Chamber.This, our Canadian \u201c House of Lords,\u201d is certainly fitted up in a magnificient style.The size of the room is 64 feet by 38, with a height of 26 feet ; and it ia surrounded by a gallery sup.ported upon fourteen columns of the Corinthian order.The Governor General\u2019* Throne, placed at the south end of the room, is, with the pillars on either aide, chastly painted in white and gold, and decorated with crimson cloth and velvet hangings, and gold fringe.The chair is a rich anecimen of carving, and bear* the Royal .ffrms\u2014beautifully excecuted in needle-work by the Grey Nuna of thia city,\u2014which ahinea from the red ground with great effect.The canopy over the throne, also of white and gold, is aurmouutcd by the Crown, and upported right and left by gold lions, resting on pedestals over the columns, while the hack ofthe throne is appropriately ornamented with a Beaver, surrounded by a wreath of Maple Leaves, all in gold, on a red ground, and right and left of the throne are placed two large gilt stars,emblematical of the two provinces, Upper and Lower Canada.Rich velvet carpeting is spread on the floor ; the several dours are covered with scarlet cloth and gilt mouldings.On the right of His Excellency\u2019s Throne is a full length portiait of Her Majesty, painted by Krleghoff, and opposite lo it that of George IV., by Légaré, copied from an original by Sir Thomas Lawtence.To the right and left of this end of the Council Chamber are recessed arches hung frllh crimson velvet, on which is worked the rose, shamrock and thistle, encircled with the maple leaf.The apace without the pillars is set apart for gentlemen visitors, the ladies alone being admitted to the gallery.Tho ussage and stair case, communicating from the Jpper to the Lower House, are very conveniently ar ranged.His Excellency's Suits of Rooms, immediately adjoining the entrance to the Council Chamber, ate superbly fitted up, and connect with the Speaker's Rooms.In addition to these there are besides the Clerks\u2019 office, several large Committee Rooms, &c., opening upon this passage, fn the thinl story are the ladies' wardrobes next to the entrance of the gallery of the Council Chamber, the apartment ofthe Chaplain, and the offices ol Translators, Chief Office Clerk, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, and Sergeant at Arms, besides several more Committee Rooms.The faults beneath thia wing are very extensive and airy, capable of storing all the valuable papers that require preservation for lutiire retcr-enco.Three ofthe vault*, not ao dry or well constructed as the others, have been appropriated to the furnaces, steam engine and other apparatus for the Heating and Pmli/a/ton of the buildings.Mr.Garth is now busily employed in erecting this machinery, which is calculated to propel any quantity of warm or cold air through the interior, its operation to be governed at pleasure in the different room*, Ac., by means of regulators.A six horse.power steam engine will work thef ant, nd the supply of atmospheric air will, when armth it wanted, be forced through a number of pipes passing inside of a large boiler, so that with the greatest heat that can be given to it, there ia no danger of fire, w hile the air itself w ill b« more healthy and agreeable than that usually furnished hy the hot air apparatus.In the event uf a file occurring in thu buildings, besides having apoit-able engine always in readiness, the powerful steam engine in the cellar is capable of pumping from the cistern an unlimited supply of water, that may be conveyed through leathern hose to the furthest extremity of the tdifree.The following is a list ol the numerous partita employed in the couatmction and completion ol the buildings.In lieu of paitieulaiiaing at length the merits of their various work, as we had originally proposed, we can only recommend the public to go and admire them.The unequalled splendour and excellence ofthe interior arrange-merits, has been acknowledged by every one that has taken the pains to examine them throughout.One gentleman,\u2014w hom we should ronectve to be at good a judge of such mattera aa any one\u2014Lord Wharnclitfe, expressed hi* great approbation of them, on the occasion of hi* late visit to the Governor General.Architect\u2014George Brown, f'lerk of Work*\u2014Pierre Gativreati.Joiners\u2014 Belleau Ik V\u2019czina, Joseph Aicher, F.Gahoury, and J.Benoit.Mason\u2014P.Cfiateauvert.Plasterer*\u2014T.Murphy and J.O'Leary.Healing and Ventilating\u2014(\u2018harlea Garth.\u2022 Painter»\u2014W.A J.McKey, C.McDonald, David, and S.Coitreil.Gas Fitter f\u2014Thome* Andrew».I'atver\u2014T.Herlinguetl*.Gilder\u2014J.Bailey.Bell Hanger\u2014Lewie Deery.General Furnisher\u2014W, Dntnt.Smith-work\u2014P.Wbttly, The grounds in fiont of the House of Ast/mMy, winch require a stone well and tailing, ate not y*t put in older, as intended hy the Diana;

house of one Rnflerty, on the margin of the river, just beneath the Governor\u2019s country residence, whereby not less than twelve or thirteen dwel lings were destroyed.The fire being out of the city limits, the late arrival of the fire brigade engines would partly account for the rapid spread of the flumes, though it must also be borne in mind the street is narrow, and the majority of the buildings were of wood.A carter named John Thompson, who was going to procure a doctor for a sick person, persisted in driving through the street\u2014there being no other passage\u2014and was almost burned to death.His horse and caleche were both destroyed on the spot.We have since learned that it was Thompson\u2019s sister who was ill, and that she died this morning ; her death was no doubt accelerated by the sad fate of her brother.The Rev.Dr.Adamson, Chaplain to the Legislative Assembly, has obtained permission to celebrate divine service in the Hall of Assembly, for the Members of the

from the city, two white men, named Edgar and Kenny, had some misunderstanding with two negroes, named Butler and Foreman.The negroes left the place, but soon again returned, one of them armed with a spade, and the latter with a large stone slung in a canvas bag.Thus armed, the monsters rushed unobserved upon their victims, knocked them down, and, while down, kicked them, and leaped upon their bodies.Edgar\u2019s skull was completely beaten in, and he died on the following day.Kenny also has been greatly injured, but may recover.This is one of the effects of encouraging the most depraved

CURE OF BAD LEGS, AFTER 43 YEARS\u2019 SUFFERING.Extract of a Letter from Mr.William Galpin, of 70, Saint Mary's Street, Weymouth, dated May 15/A, 1851.To Professor Holloway, Sir,\u2014At the age of 18 ray wife (who is now 61) caught a violent cold, which settled in her legs, and ever since that time they have been more or less sore, and greatly inflamed.Her agonies were distracting and for months together she was deprived entirely of rest and sleep Every remedy that medical men advised was tried, but without eflect ; her health suffered severely, and the state of her legs was terrible I had often read your Advertisements, and advised her to try your Pills and Ointment ; and, as a last resource, alter ercry other remedy had proved useless, she consented to do so.Mie commenced six weeks ago, and, strange to relate, is now in good health, ilcrlegs arc painless, without seam or scar,and her sleep sound and undisturbed.Could you have witnessed the sufferings of my wife during the last 43 years, and contrast them with her present enjoyment of health, you would indeed feel delighted in having been the means of so greatly alleviating the sulfcriDcs of a fellow creature.(Signed)\tWILLIAM GALPIN.A PERSON 70 YEARS OF AGE CURED OF A BAD LEG,OF 30 YEARS\u2019 STANDING.opy of a Letter from Mr.Wm.Abbs, Builder of Gas Ovens, of Rushcliffe, near Huddersfield, dated May Sly/, 1851.To Professor Holloway, Sin,\u2014I suffered for a period of thirty years from a bad leg, the result of two or three different accidents at Gas Works ; accompanied by scorbutic symptoms I had recourse to a variety of medical advice, without deriving any benefit, and was even told that the leg mutt be amputated, yet.in opposition to that opinion, your Pills and Ointment have effected n complete cure in so short a time, that few who had not witnessed it would credit the fact, (Signed)\tWILLIAM A BUS.The truth of this statement can be verified by Mr.W.P.England.Chemist, 13, Market

suffered from Rad Breasts for more than six months, and during the whole period had the best medical attendance, but all to no use.Having before healed an awful wound in my own leg by your unrivalled medicine, I determined again to use your Pill* and Ointment, and therefore gave them a trial in her case, and fortunately it was I did so, for in less than a mon tit a perfect cure was effected, and the benefit that various other branches of my family have derived from their use is really astonishing.1 now strongly recommend them to all my friends.(Signed) FREDERICK TURNER.A WONDERFUL CURE OF A DANGEROUS SWELLING OF THE KNEE.Copy of a Letter from John Forfar, an Agriculturist, residing at Newborough, near Hexham, dated May 15/A, 1850.To Professor Holloway, Sir,\u2014I was afflicted with a
